Occupational Safety and Health Protection

Occupational Safety and Health Protection

Safety questions are indivisible part of the company´s policies and fulfilling of safety
aspects is consistently in the interest of all employees of the company Tarmac CZ a. s. The
year 2005, when comparing it with the previous year, was the most difficult one especially
because our target was working without Lost Time Injuries (LTI). To accomplish this hard
target, we focused mainly on the area of prevention and enlightenment. When we realized
breaching of safety rules, we uncompromisingly, but with careful consideration, enforced the
principle of Zero Tolerance. In this area, the employees of Tarmac CZ a.s. fulfilled the
target for 2005, as they had no LTI. In compliance with the safety strategy of the whole
Tarmac Group, we are responsible for safety of those, who provide their activities on the
workplaces of our company, thus also for safety of the workers of our contractors. Despite
all safety precautions we had one LTI in 2005 that happened during an activity of our
contractor due the failure of human factor. Every accident or realized potential danger
raises questions whether we can do more for safety and health of our employees. One of the
possible ways how to improve safety and health is confrontation of the procedures used in SHE
(Safety, Health and Environment) area. Last year, we checked our procedures by an independent
authority and we entered
the competition “Company Supporting Health” which was announced by
the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. Fulfilling of competition’s conditions brought
not only award and confirmation of correctness of our procedures, but also valuable feedback
including ideas for ongoing improvement. In this case it was also teamwork of those who feel
strongly about the renown of the company Tarmac CZ a.s., so that this renown could be the
synonym for safe company.
